Celebrity Looks for Less

Want to dress like your favorite celebrity?  Look no further! Here are a few celebrity looks I found that are similar and cost a lot less.



This first look is of Hayley Williams from Paramore's new music video "Now."  I instantly fell in love with her outfit (and the song) and immediately started looking for similar clothes online. Here's what I came up with:



 
*All clothing from Forever 21 except for boots which are from urbanog.com

Military Jacket:  $32.80                                              Black Combat Boots: $34.90         

Taupe Cable Knit Sweater: $24.80                                             Destroyed Skinny Jeans: $22.80

*To get Hayley's look, cut some slits into the sweater to give it a more edgy look

This next look is from Katy Perry.  I love this outfit because it's so simple and classy and who doesn't love the 1950's retro look?

*All clothes from Forever 21, except for
the capris which are from Love Culture                                                                                                                                                                                               Top: $15.80
                                                                                     Capris: $24.90
                                                                                     Flats: $22.80
                                                                                     Sunglasses: $5.80

This look comes from Emma Watson.  I love this look because its a little tomboy-ish but in a cute and sophisticated way:

*All clothes from Forever 21 except for the blazer which is from Love Culture                                                                                
 Blazer: $25.90          White Collar Shirt: $15.50           Shorts: $19.80         Tie: $8.90         hat $10.80

This last look is from Kelly Osbourne.  She has such a fun and funky look, I love it!
                                              
*All clothes from Forever 21,                                                         Dress: $14.80
 except for sunglasses which                                                           Blazer: $ 32.80
 are from 80spurple.com                                                                  Belt: $24.80
                                                                                                         Sunglasses: $12
                                                                                      

A fun twist on an old classic!

                             Who doesn't love a classic black leather skirt? 
                                       It's so chic and goes with anything:

But now that spring is here, I thought why not put a twist an old classic?  Instead of the black leather skirt, this season's hottest trend is the blush pink leather skirt.  Pair it with a chambray top and a chunky gold chain necklace and you've got a hot new look!

Or for a softer romantic look, pair the skirt with a white lace top, some black wool tights and black chunky heels:

 

Spring Nail Looks

Spring has arrived!  So here are a few nail looks I put together to brighten up your nails!


                                                Beetle Juice! Beetle Juice! Beetle Juice!

            



                                                                           Edible Nails

                                        Nothing more spring-like then fresh strawberries!




                                                           Yellow Polk-a-Dot Bikini

                                  I love these nails, they make me happy just looking at them.  
                                  You can also go retro with red nails and white polka dots or 
                                 navy blue with white polka dots for a 1950's pin-up girl look
                                          


                                       Spring Ribbons

                                 You can get creative with this look because you can use any
                                                             mix of colors you want

Product of the Month: April

  

Because I did a blog all about nail design ideas, I've decided this month's product recommendation should be the Nail Art Pen by Sally Hansen.  I was always looking for an easier way to put designs on my nails rather than using a toothpick lol.  Then I came across the Nail Art Pen by Sally Hansen.  Now, many of you are probably thinking "these have been out for a long time and she's just now talking about them like they're some brand new product?"  The truth is, a lot of my friends still think this product looks like complete hooey. That its probably really messy and isn't easy to make designs with.  I was just like them.  When I first saw this product, I thought this is what I've been looking for!  However, I figured it probably wouldn't work like it says it does, that it would be too messy, too runny, the colors wouldn't show up enough, not easy to apply....etc. etc.  But from the moment I tried it, I fell in love and since then I've bought many more colors.  I have it in black, yellow, red, white, orange, silver and navy blue and I'm looking to buy more colors!  So, even though this product has been out for quite some time, this is for the people who are still skeptical about these nail art pens.  I'm here to tell you that they are easy to apply and easy to make designs with (look at my nail design posts).  In fact, the tip is pretty precise and therefore it allows you to make your designs large or small depending on what you want.  I will also tell you that the colors do show up very well and are pretty vibrant.  So go out, buy some colors, get creative and have fun!
